A HORRIBLE Accident.

Last Saturday while Mr.. Tom
Webb was engaged at work at Lee
& Webb's saw-mill, about four
and half miles northwest Of
Dawson, his clothing was caught
by the cogs Of some ftbe machin-
cry and a horrible accident re-
suited. Mr. Web5's right arm
was drawn into the machinery and
crushed from the elbow to the
shoulder, in some places scraping
the flesh from the bone and Ieav-
ing it exposed to view. His right
side, also, was badly torn and
bruised, and in one place his ribs
could be plainly seen. Medical
all WAS summoned, and Mr.. Webb
is now getting on as well as could
be expected under the circam-
stances, with some prospects of
recovery.

throughout the Mexican war and
participated in the battles of Mon

Pass. In 1852 he went to Florida and took
part in hostilities against the Seminole
Indians. He afterward saw considerable
service on the southwestern frontier, and
was in garrison at Fortress Monroe when
the rebellion broke out. He was in COM

brcvetted lieutenant colonel on July 81 Of
the same year for gallant and meritorious
services at the battle of Bull Run, where
he was severely wounded and captured.
lie was held as a prisoner and disabled by
his wounds until 1862, when he served

battles in which he bore brave part.
He also participated in the Maryland cam.

He was made major of the First artillery

forcing treaties and maintaining neu-
trality. The name represents o region
rather than o nation, and the ameer is
only nominal chief, many Of the local
chiefs being practically independent and
often hostile.
EARLY in victoria's reign q British
army, with an immense train Of camp
followers, was completely destroyed in at
tempting retreat from the country-an
event known in British history as the
Cabul disaster. After a reconquest Of the
the British yiceroy of India, Lord Lytton,
declared war against Shere Ali, the
ameer, and compelled him to abdicate in
1870. The British set up his nephew,
Abdurrahman, as ameer, but the latter's
cousin, Ayoub Khan, son of Shere Ali, re-
belled, defeated the British at Maiwand,
July 81, 1880, and besieged them in Can
dahar. Gen. Roberts arrived by forced
marches and scattered Ayoub Khan's
army; the latter, after many reverses, fed
into Persia, where the government agreed
to restrain him. But he has, little by lit
tie, united the elements Of discomfort,
and intrigued with the Russians to secure
freedom Of action, and has finally escaped
to the camp Of the discontinued chiefs in
Afghanistan. AS he Is the son and heir
of Shere Ali and the sworn enemy of the
English, of course trouble is apprehended;
the extent Of it will depend on the
strength of the discontinued elements in
Afghanistan and the degree to which
they and Ayoub Khan are sustained by
the Russians.
From London illustrated paper we

between Russian possessions in Asia and

ed in regular order, beginning at Zulflkar
on the Heri-Rud, where the boundary
starts from the west, and this one il on
the top Of round hill, distant about six
teen miles to the west of Dowlutabad.
They are built of brick, the bricks being
generally found in the old ''robats," OF
caravansaries, now in ruins, which were
along the lines of route in former times.
The pillars are erected on earthen bases,
and are all plastered and numbered.
At present there are about sixty-1ve OF

serious fact. It adds a new difficulty to
the situation in Afghanistan, and prolongs

termined. From Andkhui, its present
termination, to Kham-i-Ab, on the Oxus,
the portion of the boundary lately settled
Mt 81. Petersburg will require about q
dozen more pillars, and a small expedi-
ton, it is understood, will be sent from
India to look after their erection. The
pillars on the now altered line, between
tho Khushk and the Murghab, will have
to be taken down and placed again on the
new line. The erection Of these boundary
marks required the use Of a good many
camels to bring bricks and other materi-
ais, and employed a number Of the
Turkomans.
The lower part Of the frontier, It will
be remembered, ran from n point west Of
the Khushk, by CLAIMANT Bald northeast
ward, to point on the Murghab below
Maruchak. The Russian boundary posts
already standing along this line Of the
frontier between the khushk and Murg-
hab now have to be moved forward, in
pursuance Of the new arrangement, about
eighteen miles in direct line nearer to
Herat, giving the Russians correspond
ing advance in the direction Of the So
called "key Of India" The new frontier
will run from place called Chahil Dok-
tar, on the Khushk, northeastward along
the hills bordering Badghis, across tho
river Khushk at point called Tur Shekh
on to place called Karaoul Khaneh, at
the junction Of the small river Kaisor
with the Murghab. The area Of this
valley pasture land now coded to Russia,
and restored to her Sarik Turkomans, is
1880 square versts, or 6l4 square miles
At first the British government proposed
to give Russia only about twenty square
versts at this point In return the ameer
receives about sixty square versts, or
twenty-seven square miles, at Khoja Saleh
and Kham-i-Ab. BosaSa is to be Rus
sian and not an Afghan post. This Is
the Russian account Of the transaction.
